On the pages of One News Now and other religious right publications, we are taking a backseat as they all combine their "talents" with other conservatives to kill President Obama's plan for health care reform.

So I decided to get on youtube for something appropriately pro-lgbt.

I found something good from a Dutch television show in which children are questioned about gays and lesbians. It's sure to make the religious right in America go beserk.

And it's something to remember the next time the religious right goes on about how "children must be protected" in that annoying Helen Lovejoy way that they do.

Bring out the tiny violin...Joe at Amplify received a letter from a desperate Focus On Your Family begging for cash:

The other problem is the FOTF's donor base is now probably on the dole and eating Alpo because of the sh*tty shape Holy Dear Leader left the economy in when he took off in the helicopter to fly back to Texas and away from the mess he made.
